Work
Osni focussed on natural views (al-manazir al tabi'iyya) in which he strove to remove "traces of himself as a rationalizing being and to react unselfconsciously with sure draughtsmanship, direct brushwork, and heightened sensitivity to optical effects." He spent hours engaged in observation before rendering a graphic version of a subject. His painting, The Solitary House, is said to be the finest example of his style.Bardaouil, S., Surrealism in Egypt: Modernism and the Art and Liberty Group, I.B. Tauris, 2016, [E-book edition], n.p. He worked in pencil, watercolour, oil and occasionally in clay and bronze, although few of his figurines are extant.Solo exhibitions
